Fast forward two days.

Southern Stoke Kingdom, Sorson River.

At dusk, a slanting glow reflects the surface of the river, as if the river is plated with a layer of gold, and the murmuring sound of flow seems to whisper the secrets of history.

Ships of all kinds sailed from afar, rippling on the gilded waters, and as they flowed through the fertile earth, they murmured lightly, as if they were embracing most of the city.

But in a moment, the dense number of ships docked on the shore, and a loud noise sounded, and countless laborers in single clothes poured out to unload the goods.

Overlooking the city near the river, it is full of flowers and traffic.

This is due to the warm weather in the south, the fertile plains, and the Sorson River, which runs through the southern provinces, facilitating trade between the different cities.

Even the Valoran Territory, which is thriving today, is inferior to here.

The convenience of the natural environment is vividly demonstrated in the river area.

However, perhaps it was the prosperity of the economy that led to the more prominent contradictions between the north and the south of the Stoke Kingdom, and the nobles were not spared, and they were involved in endless conflicts of interest.

The appearance of the root of decay is the best proof of this.

The sun was dim, the night was falling, and the cold wind blew across the river, waving the slightest folds.

Caterina hid in the shadows and hurried forward, covered in the heavy smell of dust and ash, the smell of long journeys, and the soldiers of the Ominous Blade that followed behind her.

With light steps, they walked along the Thorsen River to a majestic castle.

Shrouded in darkness of night, the silent castle sleeps like a dark beast, and the occasional flickering magical light is like a closed eye that sees its surroundings.

"Baker Castle?" Caterina stepped out of the shadows and stared at the castle in front of her, her long crimson hair hanging over her shoulders.

The Baker family is one of the top blood nobles in the southern part of the Stoke Kingdom, controlling most of the trade of the Thorsen River, and their own power base is also ranked among many noble families.

There are two strong men exposed to the surface, Lena Baker and Sitney Adams Baker.

Compared to Lena Baker, who died at the hands of Caterina, Sitney, who was the head of the Baker family, lived in Baker Castle.

It is rumored that he has the strength to rival the legendary crown.

As for the real and the fake, there is no way to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"Let's get started!" Caterina pulled out the hideous dagger she slung across her waist and turned to look at the ominous blade soldier standing silently behind her.

Unlike the previously unknown Noxian Assassin Legion, the soldiers who were selected for the Ominous Blade were all selected by Caterina herself.

With the purest faith.

Most of the Ominous Blade soldiers come from the lowest echelons of the Noxian Empire, lacking the talent and aptitude of what they call it, but their desire to succeed is the absolute motivation for them to move forward.

This is what Caterina expects to see, as she experienced - failure must accept the consequences, and only success can prove the value of her existence.

The extreme Ominous Blade abandons everything else and focuses on the way of assassination, even neglecting its own defenses and focusing all its attention on the offensive side.

Movement and stillness, elegance and brutality.

They are assassins in the shadows of darkness, dancers in the desire to kill, and spokesmen for death.

It was the most powerful army of assassins in the Noxian Empire.

......

......

In the darkness of the night, the watchtower of the Baker Castle drawbridge, the bright magic light penetrates the wall tiles, illuminating the dim environment.

On the wall of the watchtower, ten soldiers of the Sharp Family in armor were quietly guarded, separated by about three meters from each other, and they were completely within the range of support and response.

"Hey, man, I heard about it, there was a sudden change in Limontamune, I heard that someone launched a legendary spell, although I don't know why it was interrupted, but it scared those noble lords."

Gossip starts, the night is silent, and something is needed to pass the boring time.

In the continent of Karadimos, where entertainment is lacking, gossip is a good pastime.

"I've also heard that Limontanlu is still in chaos right now, I really don't know what the hillbilly nobles in the north think?"

"No way, the Violet Mage Tower is not here, they lack a core figure like Lord Sitney."

"Well, no, Count Lena can too. By the way, brothers, I'll tell you the exciting news. ”

"I received secret information from the nephew of my second uncle's friend, Lord Count Lena is seeking an opportunity to break through the legend, and if it succeeds, then the future of the Baker family is bright."

"Really? At that time, the Valoran Territory in the northern part of the kingdom will not be the only legendary force, and when you think about it, it seems ......"

"Pray for Lord Lena, haha!"

"Pray for our bright future, haha!"

Cheerful laughter broke the silence of the night, but also muffled some subtle movements.

"Stop making a fuss and do your job." The serious words sounded, suppressing the atmosphere of gossip that was gradually thickening, and the older soldier who was the captain looked around, and the vigilance in his heart never disappeared.

Unlike the recruits around him, he had fought with the Duke of Sitney in the tragic Great Patriotic War more than ten years ago, and survived.

Although he lost the possibility of further growth, he was much better off leaving a good life than his companions who became white bones.

"Huh?" With the help of magic lights, the old soldier faintly saw the black figure disappear in the night. "Dazzled?"

Rubbing his eyes slightly, the older soldier continued to look ahead of the drawbridge, and suddenly a figure of a woman in a black leather coat was reflected in his pupils.

Why is there a woman in front of the castle?

The thought that came to his mind made the older soldier hesitate a little, but he immediately reacted that there was an enemy invasion!

Clenching the sword at his waist, the older soldier quickly stepped back, ready to warn, and turned to greet his partner, only to see a bloody battlefield in his view.

The family soldiers who were still talking and laughing just now all collapsed in a pool of blood, and the fresh breath of life dissipated with the wind.

"Uh-uh... Uh-uh! ”

A cold light flickered, and the older soldier covered his neck, and the unstoppable blood seeped through his fingers, staining his armor red.

The figure collapsed, and the Ominous Blade soldier duly held the corpse from behind and gently placed it on the ground, then she nodded slightly to the shadow in the corner and continued to sneak into the castle.

The clouds were overcast, obscuring the faint starlight.

The killing belonging to the Ominous Blade Soldiers continued, and the air gradually filled the air with the smell of blood, which was not careless, but the Ominous Blade Soldiers deliberately did it.

The dead body was suddenly discovered, and the silent Baker Castle awoke, and a dense noise resounded in the night sky.

Chaos descends.
